Late mail: Desic to debut in Wagga Wagga
Rising rookie Enah Desic will become Titan #65 against the Warriors in Wagga Wagga as her side hunts four wins on the trot in the first five games of 2026.
Replacing Lily Kolc, who succumbed to illness before the team's captain's run on Saturday, the dynamic No. 9 will come from the bench in the clash in the only change made by coach Karyn Murphy.
A win cementing third spot on the ladder, this will be Gold Coast's second meeting against New Zealand - winning 20-10 in their maiden encounter last year.
Kick-off is at 1.25pm; live on Channel 9, 9Now, Fox League and Kayo Sports.
